Tranexamic Acid 500mg is a synthetic antifibrinolytic medication used to reduce or prevent excessive bleeding by inhibiting the breakdown of fibrin, a protein essential for blood clot formation. It works by blocking the action of plasminogen activators, which normally convert plasminogen to plasmin—an enzyme that breaks down fibrin. By preventing fibrin degradation, Tranexamic Acid helps in maintaining clot stability and reduces bleeding. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as heavy menstrual bleeding, surgical procedures, trauma, and bleeding disorders like hemophilia. It may also be used in treating nosebleeds (epistaxis) and dental procedures in patients with bleeding tendencies. The 500mg dosage is typically used to control moderate to severe bleeding.
